Evening chaps. I just thought I'd update you all on the issues I was having with cutting out. We got back from a successful trip to Cornwall this week. We did about 730 miles in total without a blip! I was pretty nervy on the way down and had regular stops but by the time we came we stopped...

Hi guys. Me again. Same old issue... My issue is the engine (as always!). As I have posted before when driving the van will seem sluggish and now at any speed loose power, judder and sometimes cut out, sometimes I can pull over and the engine will idle and I can continue. However tonight it cut...

Evening team. I'm not sure my coil is causing any issues but after my recent engine wowes I've changed the fuel lines, internal gauge filter (which was almost non existent) and inline filter. As the issue only seems occur after running for a bit. Hence considering a coil change. My question...

Evening team. Just a quick one about refitting original seats. Can anyone describe how the drivers and Passanger seats are fitted in place. I have two brackets (I think for the Passanger and two ridged runners I think for the drivers. Just not sure how to put it all together. At the minuet...

Hi everyone. So yet another issue has cropped up, just as I thought we were ready to get camping... Last weekend the van cut out at low speed headding to traffic lights. It was a hot day and we'd been a long way. It didn't want to restart and when I pushed the accelerator nothing happens in...

Hi everyone, So I've just got my van back from paint. It's just had the outer done so they removed the lights etc. pulling away I turned the indicator on and the fuse went. There was also a small amount of smoke (like tiny) coming from the indicator switch itself. Getting it home I took the...

Hi guys, I've taken the cab headliner out today and am looking to fit the new one in the week. As the van has a dormobile roof this cuts into the cab section somewhat. I've got the old one as a bit of a template. I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to fit it? Because it's smaller...

Evening chaps. Just a quick one on the above. Can anyone recommend or advise the cheapest dormobile canvas suppliers? Best I've found so far £250 but was wondering if anyone can do better? Many thanks! Alex

Hi guys, I've tried searching but with limited success. I was wondering if there are any threads on the heating system? Mine has been disconnected way back when from the middle portion andirons really needs reconnecting. I'd like to see what all the parts look like and how they got do I can have...

Ok, so I'm currently sat in the van scratching my head over my hazards. I checked and swapped fuses. Then unscrewed the unit. Everything looks to be connected and the CD player isn't interfering. I screwed the knob back in to see if a bit of tinkering had helped anything and the knob itself...

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a merry Christmas. I'm going to be working on the van today, trying to fix my hazards and 12v sockets (as previously posted) but I have a question about lowering your van. I've been offered some drop spindles but they are from a beetle with drum breaks. Would...

Hi everyone. Just a quick question about my hazards. They were working fine. Then a mate fitted a new radio. Suddenly nothing. The indicators work and the lights on the dash come on but there is no clicking, flashing and the lights externally do nothing. Could the radio be a coincidence...

Hi everyone. Just looking for a little advice on curing my sieve like dormobile roof. Its letting lots of water in and I'm wondering if there are any tricks to help keep it water tight. I've ordered seals for the pop sun lights, new seal for the whole top and canvas water proofing. But I...

Hi guys, just had our first weekend away in our van. We loved it! However we did find we had lots of condensation in the van which collected at the corners of the windows and ran down the sides of the van. Do you have any tips on reducing this, especially now the best of the summer seems to be...

Hi everyone, so after a lot of work (lots more still to do) we had our first weekend in the lakes in our van. Despite the torrential rain it was great fun. However I came away with a few questions. One of which was how do you experienced owners protect against the rain that comes in through the...

Hi again guys... So as the title says I'm at the stage where I need to decide which type of electrics I need to fit. I was thinking about a strightforward mains hook-up as it looks easier to do and we would be spending most of our 'camping' time on sites. However having our power wherever we...

Hi guys, I'm new to vdubs and the form. I've just bought a 1972 cross over so I don't know if I'm in the right place as I'm at the end of 'early.' Basically I have found that after a run and the engine getting hot, when I turn it off it won't then re-start, such as at the petrol station!! The...
